Description
This route climbs an arête and the bolt line is on the arête. You can start right below the bolts or solo the detached flake below to give your belayer a better stance. Crux is between the 2nd and 3rd bolts. The first bolt is high, and on the whole, this thing is on the edge of G/PG. Like many routes in the Hall,it has some slightly crumbly rock and lichen patches on it. Movement is awkward and doesn't flow. Kind of forces you out into a chimney/stem box and left of the bolted arête at the crux. I doubt that was the intent. A fall there while clipping the bolt would be battering. Kind of a bit like Dirty Little Secrets at Chopping Block in terms of the way it forces you offline into a chimney feature.I led it this way and so have the other climbers that I have seen on it. If you are already warmed up, skip it and move to the far better route to the immediate right- Probable Cause 5.8.
